Sadly, its cheap and the phone in votes are a money maker - so they'll stretch out reality shows as much as they can as they're financially more stable.

Such a share in the UK is still massively impressive. There's hundreds of channels to pick from, most of them are trash or repeats, or the usual suspects (cop show, reality show, Friends STILL on repeat) so it's no surprise they've got another 14 episodes already in the bag.

Besides, if the ratings did dip 5-10% - there's still merchandising and other things to consider that are still bringing in the cash.

Would you believe there are places selling the writing on t-shirts already?

Not surprised....

And on a somewhat unrelated bit, but when I first saw the wooden crib, my first thought was "It's Susan's!"
It is kind of weird that the Doctor NEVER mentions any of his offspring, when we KNOW he's had them (rather hard to have a granddaughter without a daughter, I'd think).
(And for the non-old school DW fans, Susan was the Doctor's obnoxious, over-acting 'granddaughter' in the first two series, in 1963-64).
